A trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland gave me the opportunity to sample some of the delicious dishes from the fascinating green island. This is a favorite of mine.

2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
1/2 cup raisins


Preheat oven to 400º. Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl. Cut in butter or margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add raisins and mix slightly. Pour in milk and mix until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; then pat into a 3/4" thickness. Using a 2" glass or biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut dough into circles. For triangles, divide dough in half. Pat each half into a circle 3/4" thick, then cut each into 6 wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with butter or jam. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Makes 12 rounds or triangles.





May the sun find you smiling each morning,
May a twinkle be found in your eyes.
May there be in your heart a sweet melody,
May each day hold a happy surprise.
May you walk down life's road with companions,
May you always have health and good cheer.
May the luck of the Irish be with you
Throughout every day of the year.
